Almost since we got her we have had Molly in a large cage (you can easily fit an adult person in there), when she was home alone. Before any of you blames us too much: In the beginning she was in the kitchen, but she started chewing at the door panels out of boredom - no matter how much food in bottles with holes, toys etc. we left her with. The cage is in the kitchen, and she also uses it when we are cooking - it is always left open, and she uses it a lot. She was happy, and we were safe - or so we thought!
You can only close the cage with two locks, which have to be moved up - sideways - down. The day before yesterday we came home, and she was lying in an OPEN cage, with visible traces of biting the door panel! My husband told me to close the cage better, but I could have sworn I had done it right!
Then, yesterday, I was out for a few hours, securing the cage was closed - but when I came home, the first lock was open again... I told my husband of my suspicion: that we had got a little Houdini-escape-Queen, but he doubted.
Until today! He was home alone with her and left her in the cage - and she was again half way through the cage. Somehow she works the locks till they move.
Now he put an extra lock on, the type used for walking lines to put on their necklace, and she no longer tries to escape :xfngr:
Have any of you experienced that?
